This retro bicycle design of mine is one that I cannot let go of. In concept, the frame will be made of aluminum with a 26" Dia. front wheel and a 16" Dia. rear wheel. The seat height would be that of a regular adult sized bike. I have shopped it around and had some interest, but no takers as far as production. I can see children and adults alike zipping through neighborhoods on these. I would like to build a prototype simply because I believe it would be a blast to ride. I have seen some low-production bicycle makers re-create some of the 19th century bike designs that [roughly] inspired this, but my concept is a totally modern machine. Perhaps once the recession begins to lift, this design may be more viable as people will begin blowing money on "fun" things again......?
